...to grow up...

That's right. It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year. 

I am not actually all that excited to be turning 24. I know it certainly isn't "old." But it doesn't feel all that young any more, either. And it makes me wonder: Have I grown up and become who I am? Who I should be?

I am so grateful for all the amazing changes that have affected me so deeply throughout the last year. I can't believe where I am now and where I've come from. I've left a job I didn't love, a city full of people I did, and a lot of uncertainty behind me. And ahead of me lies a whole heap more uncertainty, and a huge pile of possibilities.

So this year, my goal is to grow up into who I am and who God wants me to be. 

And maybe to eat some cake and ice cream. Life's short, after all!
